| Role |
Co-Investigator |
| Grant Detail |
This five-year program will expand the body of scientific data describing childhood obesity, and increase the number of scholars and researchers engaged in Latino childhood obesity. Our mechanism to achieve these objectives will be a newly-created national Latino Childhood Obesity Research Network (LCORN).
Through the network, we expect to fund up to 20 pilot projects that will study environmental factors and policies influencing obesity in Latino children. We will provide training opportunities for pilot investigators to gain critical research skills, and will convene annual conferences for investigators to present their research. We also plan to develop an alumni network to monitor the investigators career progression as they leverage their study results into larger grant applications and programs. As the pilot projects yield research outcomes, we will create communication channels to disseminate this information to stakeholders across the U.S., and to inform policy makers and the public about the benefits of reducing childhood obesity. |
